Overview
Developed by Yamaha in 2003, VOCALOID singing voice synthesis technology and software creates vocals for songs using lyrics and melodies as input. Synthesizing different vocals is as simple as switching between voicebanks, which are generated from actual human voices. Released in October 2022, VOCALOID6 features the VOCALOID:AI synthesis engine, which uses artificial intelligence to synthesize more natural, richly expressive singing voices. VOCALOID songs created using VOCALOID technology have sparked a new generation of music, boasting countless fans and listeners around the world.
The newly released voicebank, “AI NurseRobot_TypeT”, is a VOCALOID6-exclusive voicebank that lets users enjoy singing voice synthesis using the voice of “NurseRobot_TypeT,” a nurse-type android character designed by artist Matsuokayu (SuteinuA). This character is known for her distinctive whisper voice, which has already been featured in many creations and has gained considerable popularity. This product also faithfully reproduces that whisper voice. Moreover, with the upcoming update to “VOCALOID Editor Ver6.7” on July 16, the range of the “Air” parameter, which controls the breath intensity of the voice, will be expanded. This enhancement allows for even more expressive synthesis of a “whisper-like singing voice” that makes the most of the character’s unique voice.
The voicebank also supports VOCALOID6 features, such as VOCALO CHANGER, which uses the creator’s vocal data to replicate their own singing style as-is, and Multilingual, which makes it possible to sing lyrics in a mixture of fluent Japanese, English, and Chinese with a single voicebank. It is also compatible with the “VX-β”, which works closely with music production software (Digital Audio Workstation: DAW) to allow for more seamless integration of synthesized singing voices, allowing creators to explore a wider range of musical expression.
